and forced him on the American people as a candidate for president? It couldn't have been just the Daley machine in Chicago. Was it Pete Peterson or somebody even worse?

SOMEBODY behind the scenes with connections to the national media had to put this guy forward as a candidate despite his right-wing leanings and lack of credentials for national office.

Now this bastard is out to kill Social Security once and for all, just like he said he would back before he was inaugurated the first time:

At this point it must be said that Obama’s insistence on making Social Security a budget deficit issue shows that he has always intended to make drastic cuts to the program. One of the reasons Social Security has long been thought of as “untouchable” is because President Franklin Roosevelt and his New Deal Democrats purposely insulated it from the conventional budget process. However, President Obama has largely neutered Social Security’s traditional congressional defenders, who know perfectly well what their president is up to, but will not directly oppose him. That’s why we at Black Agenda Report call Obama “the more effective evil”; he can accomplish what Republicans only dream about.

Obama’s scheme to cripple Social Security is to change the way inflation is measured, resulting in a drastic scale-back in cost-of-living increases in recipients. According to Dean Baker, of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, the cuts would amount to 3 percent over 10 years, 6 percent over 20 years, and 9 percent over 30 years. In dollar terms, Black Minneapolis Congressman Keith Ellison says retirees would lose $6,000 in the first 15 years of cuts and $16,000 over 25 years.

Will Democrats actually oppose this dirtbag and quit giving in to his right-wing bullshit?

Obama should be forced to resign because he got the office through fraudulent means.
